Scotland’s innings saw some resistance, but Pakistan’s disciplined bowling limited their total. During the chase, Pakistan’s top performers included Usman Khan, who scored 75 off 85 balls, and Ahmed Hussain, who contributed 47 runs from 92 balls. Hussain also made a remarkable fielding effort by taking a breathtaking catch at backward point, which drew widespread praise and was one of the tournament’s standout moments.
